Soil and soil fertility

Soil management is the application of practices to maintain or improve soil fertility, and a fertile soil is one which has the capacity to supply nutrients for high crop production. Some soils are naturally fertile, others are naturally poor and require intensive treatment in order to make them fertile; still others were formerly fertile but have been eroded or depleted and require special treatment in order to restore their productive capacity.

A great deal has been written about soil conservation during the past 20 years. There is a popular opinion that fertility is characteristic of the top soil; when it is removed productive capacity is gone forever. The loss of topsoil represents a loss of fertility provided through centuries of soil building by natural processes. The natural topsoil may be gone forever, but man may build new topsoil which is just as fertile, or even more fertile than the original topsoil. The important point is that while man has the ability to rebuild topsoil the process is expensive and may not always be profitable. Therefore, we proceed with conservation because it is more economical to keep soil from eroding away than to rebuild fertile topsoil

What is soil? Soil is the mixture of mineral and organic material at the land surface that is capable of sustaining plant life. The minerals and rocks that compose the earth’s surface have a common origin, and the elements required by plants are found over entire surface of the earth, although in highly variable proportions. The weathering of the rocks and minerals has been  going on for millions of years, until most of the earth’s surface has become a mass of finely divided mineral matter.

As plants cover the land, the rots are abundant near the surface, and as the plants die their remains fell on the surface of the ground. As a consequence, organic matter accumulates on as well as in the surface of the soil. This is a characteristic of soils over the entire earth. Another important characteristic is the plant cover stabilizes the soil against erosion, and as water percolates through the soil, there is movement of the finer particles to lower depths. Therefore, as soils develop with time, there is a tendency toward the development of a layer of clay beneath a layer of coarser textured topsoil.
